Our friends and partners at Equality Florida shared a brand-new report from the Movement Advancement Project which highlights preemption’s threat to LGBT equality and workers, wages, and immigrants. Find that report and its downloadable maps here.

Partnership for Working Families created an interactive map that highlights which state preempt local governments on issues including minimum wage, affordable housing, immigrants’ rights, and employee benefits, and also shows which state statutes are affected. Find it here and try it out!

This one-pager lets you know how you can fight back against preemption laws when they’re filed in your state. Pass this along to friends and family when your community is faced with preemption and send the message that you are in the fight to #DefendLocal.

Includes preemption messaging for all audiences as well as messaging specifically for nonpartisan, conservative, or progressive audiences. Includes numerous quotes opposing preemption from elected officials and other leaders across the political spectrum.

Documentaries are a great way to begin conversations around issues that are important to local governments, and can be used to highlight the importance of being able to pass local solutions to local problems. This run of show is for the Newtown documentary, but should give a good sense of how to organize an effective screening.

This toolkit provides research-based strategies for messaging approaches to fighting against preemption. It includes steps for how to make a case against preemption, a list of dos and don’ts, a summary of interviews, and a set of recommendations.
